Root Canal Treatment in Korea: Preserve Natural Teeth Longevity

Root canal treatment involves the removal of damaged nerve tissue, leading to severe discomfort, or when the neurovascular tissue is exposed or inflamed. We then fill the area with a replacement filling.

The purpose of a root canal treatment is to preserve natural teeth longevity, so that pain or other symptoms can be eliminated and the teeth can function unhindered
